I was at Wal-mart the yesterday (almost a daily occurrence for me!) and I found some unfinished wood cut out letters. I got the letters HOME and I am either going to paint them or cover them with scrapbook paper and hang them on my wall to remind me that that is where my emphasis is this year!!!

Nice Idea! Can you explain how you'll apply the scrapbooking paper? I'm having a mental block.

Thanks!

I love those wooden letters. I bought some last fall that spelled out "Give" and painted them all pretty and fallish looking, with the intentions of going back and getting "Thanks", which I never did! I'll have to make an effort to get my word, "heart" and the "thanks"!! Great reminder!!

I'm not quite sure, but I've seen them done at craft stores. I suppose you would glue it on then cover with modge podge or something. I'll have to do a google to find out for sure!

Just did a google and found this site http://www.plan-the-perfect-baby-shower ... etter.html
I love the embelishments, I think I might try something like that.

The examples I've seen had decoupaged the scrapping paper on.

Thank you for the link! I will have to pick up some letters this weekend at Michael's and get started!

That sounds like a neat idea. You'll have a reminder all year long to look at.
